Chapter 176 Chen Deng's mission to Zhuo County

While Shan Fu was thinking about Li Chen's thoughts, Li Chen's envoy came. Who is coming? Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong came to Zhuo County.

Zhuo County, county government.

"Report to King Qin, Chen Yuanlong from Xuzhou outside the city came to ask for a meeting."

When Liu Bei was studying in the county government office whether Li Chen could defend Zhuo County, the soldiers guarding the city came to report.

After hearing Chen Deng coming, Liu Bei and Shan Fu looked at each other, Shan Fu said, "King of Shu, let's stop guessing. If you see this famous Chen Yuanlong, you will know everything."

"Well, it's not bad. Since Chen Deng came at this time, it can be seen that Li Chen has something to do. Only Li Chen has something to do, so there will be some talks." Liu Bei nodded and said.

"Please come in, Mr. Chen." Liu Bei ordered to the left and right.

Without much effort, the servants from both sides led Chen Deng to come in. When Liu Bei saw Chen Deng, he could see that he was extraordinary from the appearance of this person.

Liu Bei thought to himself that Chen Deng was just a big housekeeper under Li Chen's command, and he also gave advice and others. From this, it can be seen that Li Chen's command is full of talents.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I have long admired Mr. Chen's name." Chen Deng had just entered the hall and before Chen Deng could speak, Liu Bei spoke first.

Others say that they have long admired Daming, which may be hypocritical and polite to each other. However, Liu Bei told Chen Deng that he had long admired Daming, so he really had long admired Daming.

Because Mi Zhu, under Liu Bei's command, was originally an official under Tao Qian's command. Mi Zhu often mentioned Chen Deng in front of Liu Bei, saying that Chen Deng was the son of Qilin from Xuzhou and that his talent was far above him.

Mi Zhu talked about Chen Deng in Liu Bei's ear all day long, and Liu Bei naturally had a deep impression of Chen Deng. Therefore, when he saw Chen Deng today, Liu Bei showed his love for talent.

Chen Deng didn't catch a cold about Liu Bei's love for talent. Why do you say that? Chen Deng is a smart person and a very good person to bet. In Chen Deng's opinion, Liu Bei's only advantage over the other princes is that he has a better reputation. However, if you don't have the strength and you have a good reputation, what's the use of him?

"I have met the King of Shu." Chen Deng arched his body slightly and said lukewarmly.

Liu Bei's hot face touched Chen Deng's cold butt. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward. Chen Deng didn't care about so much. He was now representing King Li Chen of Qin. Now it is Li Chen strong, while Liu Bei is weak, so naturally Chen Deng doesn't have so many things to be afraid of.

Chen Deng didn't say anything, without even a simple greeting, and asked straight to the point: "I don't know if the King of Shu knows that King of Wei Cao Cao and our King of Qin are allies."

"I don't know if the King of Shu knows that Zhuo County is the main transportation route for our King of Qin and King of Wei Cao."

"Zhuo County is here. King Yuan Shao of Jin did not dare to attack, and King Yuan Shu of Qi did not dare to attack. Could it be that King Shu thought he was stronger than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?"

As soon as Chen Deng asked these three questions, it can be said that he did not leave any face for Liu Bei. These three questions kept Liu Bei silent, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Shan Fu was Liu Bei's counselor, and at this time he had to help Liu Bei rescue the siege. Shan Fu pondered for a moment and said to Chen Deng: "Mr. Chen, it is natural that the two armies are fighting each other. Zhuo County is Wei, not Qin. Our army can naturally take it when fighting with King Wei Cao Cao. As for the destruction of the King of Qin, we can discuss this matter. King Wei can trade with King Qin, and my Shu King is as good as my family."

Shan Fu first reasoned Chen Dengxiao, saying that we were fighting with Cao Cao, so we took his territory, which was in line with the truth. In addition, you said that we had destroyed the transaction between you and Cao Cao. Can we discuss this? Cao Cao is capable of our family, and we have more tricks.

"Discuss, how to discuss?"

"My Qin King is going to send troops to attack Zhuo County." Chen Deng intimidated.

Shan Fu naturally knew that Li Chen was going to send troops to attack Zhuo County, so this was naturally just a talk. If Li Chen really wanted to attack Zhuo County, then there would be no need to let Chen Deng come to discuss.

At the same time, Shan Fu also understood that the reason why Chen Deng said this was just to take the initiative in the negotiations. However, now Li Chenqiang and Liu Bei were weak. There was no room for discussion in the negotiations where people were strong and I were weak. Therefore, Shan Fu could only follow Chen Deng's words.

"Mr. Chen, this requires Mr. Chen to say a few more beautiful words in front of the King of Qin. The conscience of heaven and earth, my King of Shu has no malice towards the King of Qin." Shan Fu said to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Since I, Chen Deng, have come, I must have convinced His Highness Qin. Xuzhou is my hometown, and I don't want any war to happen around Xuzhou. In this way, the King of Shu and I, Chen Deng, mean the same thing, and I want to talk about it."

Chen Deng asked Liu Bei, and Shan Fu nodded at Liu Bei at the same time, which meant that it was beneficial to us to talk about it.

Now that Liu Bei has just occupied Zhuo County, he has not yet established a stable foothold, and their power is incomparable to Li Chen. At this time, you cannot annoy Li Chen. If otherwise, Li Chen gave up his plan to attack Jiangdong and came to attack them, then they would not be able to withstand it.

"Talk, talk, of course I want to talk about it." Liu Bei hurriedly responded to Chen Deng.

When Liu Bei wanted to talk, this was naturally not beyond Chen Deng's expectations. Because the strength of the two sides was quite unequal, Li Chen now had less than 300,000 professional soldiers under his command. You should know that the Qin army's combat effectiveness was the best in the world. He defeated Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in succession. These 300,000 soldiers and horses were not a problem to fight Yuan Shao. Looking at Liu Bei, he had a lot of plans and had only 700,000 or 80,000 soldiers.

As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. In this case, it is better to say that it is not so much a negotiation between the two sides, Chen Deng is making the conditions and Liu Bei is making compromises.

Chen Deng nodded and said to Liu Bei: "There are many more pro-war factions in Xuzhou than those in the peace factions. When Wen Hou died, the King of Shu made a lot of efforts. Now, the daughter of Wen Hou, Lu Lingqi, is my mistress. In order to promote this peace talks, I, Chen Deng, have squandered a lot of efforts. I hope the King of Shu will not let down Chen Deng's kindness."

Chen Deng said this to Liu Bei, there is only one opportunity, you have to seize it. If you don’t cherish my master, the next time you will be the group of reckless men who are fighting with swords and soldiers, they will come to have physical communication with you.

When Liu Bei heard Chen Deng mention that Lu Bu's daughter became the woman of King Li Chen of Qin, his heart trembled. Liu Bei said to himself, I hope the King of Qin's ears are harder, and the wind beside him will not be able to listen to it. Otherwise, my life will be gone.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, my King of Shu is a person who is responsible for his heart." Shan Fu tried to smooth things over.
